Η Χατζηαναστασίου Κωνσταντίνα είναι Ψυχολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στη Νέα Μάκρη.

Σπούδασε Ψυχολογία, συγκεκριμένα το πρόγραμμα Bsc Psycology Science του Canterbury Christ Church University. Έπειτα, ολοκλήρωσε τον 1ο και τον 2ο κύκλο “Εισαγωγικών διαλέξεων στην Ψυχανάλυση” της Ελληνικής Ψυχαναλυτικής Εταιρείας και το “Ετήσιο σεμινάριο στην Ψυχαναλυτική σκέψη και Πρακτική” της Διεπιστημονικής και Ερευνητικής Ψυχοκοινωνικής Υποστήριξης Παιδιών και Ενηλίκων (ΔΙ.ΚΕ.Ψ.Υ.).

Οι κατευθύνσεις στην ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση είναι της ψυχαναλυτικής ψυχοθεραπείας (Μετεκπαίδευση στην Ψυχαναλυτική/Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία Παιδιών, Εφήβων και Ενηλίκων του κέντρου ΔΙ.ΚΕ.Ψ.Υ.) και της σωματικά επικεντρωμένης ψυχοθεραπείας Gestalt (Ολοκληρωμένη Επαγγελματική Κατάρτιση στις τεχνικές της μεθόδου της Σωματικά Επικεντρωμένης Θεραπείας Gestalt” στο Unity Energetics Institute). 

Ακόμη, έχει παρακολουθήσει διάφορα εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα με θέμα την παιγνιοθεραπεία, την οικογενειακή θεραπεία, την συναισθηματική νοημοσύνη, την διαχείριση συναισθημάτων κ.α.

Πιστεύει στην συνεχή εκπαίδευση ως ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και ως άτομο καθώς είναι σημαντικό να εμπεριέχεται παλαιότερη και σύγχρονη γνώση καθώς και μία συνθετική οπτική της ψυχοθεραπείας που να βοηθάει τον θεραπεύομενο με διάφορες τεχνικές και μέσα για την επίτευξη της θεραπείας. Η κατεύθυνση της στις ψυχοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις της ψυχαναλυτικής θεραπείας και της σωματικά επικεντρωμένης ψυχοθεραπείας Gestalt αντικατοπτρίζουν την δική της προσέγγιση για το ψυχικό τραύμα και το σύμπτωμα. Το σύμπτωμα συνοδεύει μια μακρά ιστορία που ο θεραπευόμενος μαζί με τον θεραπευτή αναζητεί, αναγνωρίζει και επεξεργάζεται με σκοπό την ψυχική ίαση. Τα ψυχικά τραύματα εδράζουν, κατά το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό τους, σε ένα ασυνείδητο κομμάτι που δεν έχουμε πρόσβαση και καθορίζουν τον τρόπο που αντιλαμβανόμαστε τον εαυτό μας, τους ανθρώπους και την ζωή. Είναι σε συνεχή ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία και εποπτεία των ψυχοθεραπειών που αναλαμβάνει. Τέλος, είναι σε συνεχή ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία και εποπτεία των ψυχοθεραπειών που αναλαμβάνει.
